    My boyfriend taught me this, and it's pretty much what's been getting me through and keeping me from becoming obsessive with my progress:

    Slow and steady wins the race.

    Also:

    Motivation gets you started, habit keeps you going (not sure who said this, though).

    "Daaaaaang you look good."

    I will keep telling myself this because every day I look better and healthier than the day before.

    It's not a clearly defined motto, but something like " if you can do it today, don't wait for tomorrow ".

    There are too many people who plan to start diet and/or exercise " next, week because my fridge is full of junk food, when I can afford a gym, after the holidays, tomorrow because today I " deserve a treat "...... for me those are mostly avoidance tactics and I try very hard not to fall into that trap.

    Btw: Great mottos everyone !

    No main one but some are "a year from now you will wish you did" and "when you feel like giving up remember why you started."

    "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? H3ll no!"

    OK, actually I don't have a motto.

    I have a few for work outs:

    Always let them see you sweat

    Better to be sore today than sorry tomorrow

    One day this will be my warm-up

    I actually have two mottos: `Patience is the key` and `Even if I will never have my dream body, it's still better than it used to be`

    One of my fears before weightloss was that it was useless. I will lose a couple of kgs, but still be fat, still be far from girls that look good. But what I learned is that every kg lost helps... I may not have a beautifull / great body, but at least I'm not huge anymore. And some clothes look a lot better on me.
    I guess it' frustrating to some point that no matter what, I will never be any closer to great looking girls I see in magazines and real life. It's like setting a goal but knowing that you cannot achieve it. But actually doing a little more for your body is still a small improvement.

    I made this one up, I think it's kinda relevant
    "You never know what you're gonna run from" ~ meaning running away from trouble to stay safe, better be fit in that position!
